Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 9?
Jake Bates will benefit significantly from the Lions handling the Vikings. If there is one thing about the Lions, it's that they'll run the score up.
Harrison Butker and Matt Prater should both be great starts against one another. Whenever these two teams meet, the game is usually a classic.
Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 9?
Chad Ryland has the opportunity to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Not only do the Cowboys allow a ton of points, but it's indoors, too.
Cairo Santos could be a solid play in a game that has shootout potential in Week 9.
